Don't worry.
[03:16] Chikai
I worry that you might be getting
flack because of me, though.
[03:21] Toi
I don't care what anyone says about me.
[03:23] Toi
You were the one who
protected the shop banner.
[03:25] Toi
And yet...
[03:27] Chikai
It's fine.
[03:28] Chikai
That's going to be our secret
for the rest of our lives.
[03:31] Toi
I know.
[03:32] Toi
You protected this shop.
[03:35] Toi
That's why I decided to wait here.
[03:37] Chikai
I have some good news.
[03:38] Chikai
I might be able to come say hi sometime soon.
[03:42] Toi
Can I come with you this time, then?

Oh, I don't know...
[03:46] Toi
You promised.
[03:47] Toi
You promised we'd live together
once everything's settled.
[03:50] Toi
I'm sick of being apart from you.

I feel the same way.
[03:53] Chikai
Sorry I could never be by your side.

SIGN Welcome

[04:17] Toi
Oh, you.
[04:18] Enta
J-Just so you know, I only told her I'm
your friend so you'd come out.
[04:22] Toi
Yeah, yeah.
[04:25] Enta
I never knew your family ran a soba shop.
[04:29] Enta
My family goes to Sobakyu for
toshikoshi soba every New Year's Eve.
[04:33] Enta
Your shop makes good soba.
[04:35] Toi
Thanks, I guess.
[04:36] Enta
Wait, you just transferred
to our school, didn't you?
[04:40] Enta
Why?
[04:44] Toi
When my mom and dad died,
I left Asakusa for a while.
[04:48] Toi
My relatives are running the shop right now.
[04:51] Toi
They're just letting me stay there.
[04:52] Enta
Oh, okay.
[04:53] Enta
Sorry.
[04:55] Toi
Never mind me.
[04:56] Toi
Why are you here?
[04:58] Enta
Right, about that!
[05:00] Enta
Please, let Kazuki have your Dish of Hope.
[05:03] Toi
Dude...
[05:04] Toi
After all the times he yanked
your chain and hurt you?
[05:07] Toi
Why haven't you ditched him?
[05:09] Enta
I owe him my life.
[05:11] Enta
I want to help him this time.
[05:14] Enta
That's what I've decided.
[05:17] Toi
Nii-san once told me...
[05:20] Toi
Those who can't survive in this
world have no option but to perish.
[05:24] Toi
Those who perish are forgotten.
[05:26] Toi
Cities, buildings, people...
[05:29] Toi
It's all the same.
[05:32] Toi
What has perished is replaced
by something new.
[05:35] Toi
Nobody in this city gives
a shit about that happening.
[05:43] Toi
"I want to help him this time," huh?
[05:47] Kazuki
There you are!
[05:48] Kazuki
Kuji!
[05:51] Kazuki
Kidnap Azuma Sara for me, dish.
[05:53] Toi
What?
[06:01] Toi
You've got to be kidding me.
[06:03] Kazuki
I'm serious, dish.
[06:05] Kazuki
Sluuurp...
[06:07] Kazuki
Abduct Sara before the fan meet, pleasluuurp...
[06:11] Toi
How are you so bad at eating soba?
[06:19] Kazuki
You're the only one I can ask to do this.
[06:22] Toi
It'll be a huge deal if people find out.
[06:24] Kazuki
I'll take Sara's place.
[06:27] Kazuki
I promised Haruka she'd say a secret
phrase when they shake hands.
[06:31] Toi
Listen, that's not going to...
[06:33] Kazuki
I've kept this secret all this time.
[06:36] Kazuki
I have to protect my Sara
identity for Haruka's sake.
[06:42] Toi
The weak can't survive without
someone to protect them.
[06:46] Toi
This was the moment that taught me that.

I'm sure they'd be glad to see it make money.
[07:29] (Flashback) Toi
But Dad always said not to do bad things.
[07:32] (Flashback) Chikai
You have to be an idiot to act all virtuous
and then kill yourself in the end.
[07:36] (Flashback) Toi
I hate you for talking bad about Mom and Dad.
[07:39] (Flashback) Toi
You should have been the one who died.

[21:20] [SONG] ---
Like the fleeting moment when
we held our hands together
[21:23] [SONG] ---
I sat with my arms around my knees
[21:28] [SONG] ---
Thinking of the days long gone
[21:33] [SONG] ---
Stand by me
[21:35] [SONG] ---
Please
[21:38] [SONG] ---
I don't know if I can become stronger
[21:44] [SONG] ---
Even if you aren't here now
[21:49] [SONG] ---
Please give me the courage to reach out
[21:55] [SONG] ---
Stand by you
[21:57] [SONG] ---
Please
[22:00] [SONG] ---
I want to get rid of everything
[22:06] [SONG] ---
The rain washes away my tears
[22:12] [SONG] ---
I just want to be embraced by your warmth

[22:26] Kazuki
Here.
[22:27] Kazuki
You can have my dish.
[22:30] Enta
What?
[22:31] Enta
Why?
[22:33] Toi
What do you think you're doing?
[22:34] Kazuki
I think you deserve to use
it more than someone like me.
[22:38] Enta
What are you talking about?
[22:40] Enta
You worked so hard for Haruka.
[22:42] Enta
How could you give it to Kuji?
[22:45] Enta
Don't you care about Haruka?
[22:46] Kazuki
I...
[22:50] Kazuki
I hate Haruka.
